All the teams are doing multiple changes for the 2023 NFL season. Now it was turn of the Tennessee Titans, which are moving on from Bud Dupree. Suprisingly, the linebacker found out he was getting released via Twitter before the team told him.
Bud Dupree was drafted in 2015 by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 22nd-overal pick. He played with the AFC North squad for six seasons before signing with the Titans in 2021.
Unfortunately, his numbers with Tennesse were not what the team expected. That’s why they are moving on from him for the 2023 campaign, but it seems like he was the last one to know he was getting cut.
Titans release Bud Dupree, the linebacker found out via Twitter
Bud Dupree’s move to the Titans in 2021 was a shock for everyone. He was seen as the linebacker that Tennessee was looking for, but unfortunately he didn’t live up to the expectations.
As the Titans are preparing for their 2023 season, the AFC South squad is making multiple changes in their roster. One of them is moving on from Bud Dupree, but the linebacker didn’t know about it until he opened Twitter this morning.
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport revealed that the Titans were cutting Dupree to avoid paying him the $17 million he was due this year. “Damn I found out on Twitter,” Bud said, perDov Kleiman.
The outside linebacker had one of his worst seasons so far in 2022 with only 4.0 sacks and 18 combinated tackles in the 11 games he played.
